Writing a CV takes care. Even the best-qualified candidate can be rejected because of trivial spelling mistakes, a hard-to-read layout or missing contact details.
A recruiter spends only a few seconds on the first look at a document. If they find chaos, outdated information or long blocks of text, they will probably move on to the next application.
Mistakes in contact details are especially critical (a typo in the phone number or e-mail address), because they make it impossible to get in touch with the candidate.
Key tips:
- Check your contact details: make sure your phone number and e-mail address are typed without a mistake.
- Check spelling and grammar: read your CV several times or ask a friend to proofread it.
- Avoid visual chaos: use one professional font and clear margins.
- Use a professional e-mail address: create a mailbox with your first and last name instead of a nickname.
